Today North Wales Central coroner John Gittins opened an inquest which was deferred to a date yet to be fixed.

One of Mr Daltry’s former pupils described him as a “good teacher” who taught science but retired due to Parkinson’s Disease.

Others took to Facebook to pay tribute to their much-loved teacher.

Kerry Hayes said: “RIP Mr Daltry. One of the best teachers I had. Thoughts are with your family at this sad time xx.”

Vicki Dean said: “Remember Mr Daltry well, he was my registration teacher, he was a lovely man. Thoughts are with his family at this sad time x.”

Arran James Pullen said: “Taught me in Year 7 science. Will be sadly missed. A great sense of humour we always had a good laugh in his lessons.”

Ste Foston said: “Mr Daltry was the man who ignited my love of science, I work as an aircraft electrician now as I love all things like that. Great fun teacher, really looked forward to his lessons. RIP.”

And Dawn Farrell added: “Very sad news, he was one of the best teachers I had, also my son and daughter. RIP Mr Daltry, our town will not feel the some without seeing you around. Thoughts are with your family.”
